===Story=== ''Abe's Oddysee'' begins with the titular protagonist as a prisoner in RuptureFarms, from which point he narrates his story. He and many other Mudokons have been slaves all their life to Molluck the Glukkon, who owns RuptureFarms1029, the biggest meat-processing plant on Oddworld.<ref>'''Abe:''' This is RuptureFarms... They say it's the biggest meat-processing plant on Oddworld.</ref> Abe is a contented floor-waxer First Class and currently Employee of the Year.<ref name="manual" /> [[File:Molluckprofit.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Molluck the Glukkon observing his plummeting profits.]]RuptureFarms is undergoing difficulties: the ingredients of their three major products: Scrab Cakes, Paramite Pies, and Meech Munchies, are quickly running out, with the [[Oddworld#Creatures of Oddworld|Meeches]] already extinct.<ref name="art1">Ballistic Publishing, ''The Art of Oddworld: The First Ten Years 1994β2004'', pages 56β59</ref> While working late one night, Abe chances upon the Board Room, where the various Glukkons are discussing their dilemma. After reviewing the situation, Molluck announces his plan to use the Mudokon slaves as new meat products called "Mudokon Pops!", frightening Abe into a resolution of escaping from the factory.<ref name="abespeak1" /> Abe proceeds to elude the authorities and escape from RuptureFarms; immediately out, Abe sees a large moon in the sky, with its face in the shape of a Mudokon handprint, signifying the Mudokons as the "chosen people".<ref>'''Abe:''' A large moon was before me / And its face was my paw.</ref><ref name="plot1">{{cite web | author= | year= | title=Oddworld Plot Overview | url=http://www.oddworld.com/games/ow_abeodd.shtml | work=[http://www.oddworld.com/ Oddworld Inhabitants] | accessdate=September 17, 2006 }}</ref> Abe suddenly falls down a cliff, smashing his head; as he lies on the ground, BigFace appears before him in a vision.<ref>'''Abe:''' Then I fell and smashed my head / Then a BigFace appeared and said I was dead.</ref> BigFace sends Abe towards his quest: to rescue his enslaved brethren and "restore the lost land". He cannot accomplish this feat without first completing the spiritual trials of the Monsaic Lines and Mudokon temples. Abe journeys into the Monsaic Lines, from where he travels to the forests of Paramonia and the deserts of Scrabania. In each land, Abe completes the tests of the respective temple; after each one, BigFace gives Abe hand scars, one representing the Paramites and one representing the Scrabs.<ref name="art2">Ballistic Publishing, ''The Art of Oddworld: The First Ten Years 1994β2004'', page 95</ref> Once Abe has both scars, he can become the Shrykull, an all-powerful demigod creature.<ref name="manual" /> The Shrykull stands outside life as a dualistic god, of creation and destruction, and of fear and love.<ref name="art3">Ballistic Publishing, ''The Art of Oddworld: The First Ten Years 1994β2004'', page 71</ref> With this divine power, Abe returns to RuptureFarms, rescues his Mudokon brethren and comes close to shutting it down entirely. Abe is surprised, captured, and bound so he cannot chant to invoke the Shrykull. It is at this point that he first appears in captivity at the start of the game.<ref>'''Abe:''' Well, I'd rescued all the Mudokons. But who's gonna rescue me? / Cause here I am face to face with Molluck the Glukkon.</ref> As Molluck enters the prison cell and prepares to drop Abe into a meat grinder, BigFace holds a meeting with freed Mudokons at the Monsaic Sanctum. ====Endings==== Here, there are two endings: *The good ending, which is triggered by the player rescuing at least fifty Mudokon slaves throughout the game, sees the Mudokons resolve to save Abe, and sees them chant together and invoke a powerful lightning bolt upon Molluck's pointy head. With Molluck incapacitated, BigFace teleports to Abe, frees him, and teleports him out to a cheering crowd.<ref>Abe's Oddysee ''The Good Ending'' FMV movie</ref> *Should Abe have failed to rescue at least fifty Mudokons throughout the game, the bad ending is invoked, wherein the few freed Mudokon slaves refuse to give aid to him. Molluck is given free rein to release Abe into a meat grinder, where he is instantly killed.<ref name="art4">Ballistic Publishing, ''The Art of Oddworld: The First Ten Years 1994β2004'', p. 97</ref> Subsequent games and media treat the "Good Ending" as canonical.
